Hi @zszywacz,
We’re sorry to hear that you’ve received spam!
In version 1.6.2 of WPForms Lite (currently we’re on 1.6.4.1), we have introduced a new and improved built-in anti-spam option. For new forms, this replaces the honeypot option and is enabled by default in the form builder > Settings > General (see screenshot here). If you have created forms previously, you’ll need to switch to this manually.
Additionally, we have integration with Google’s free reCAPTCHA service. In case it helps, here’s a detailed tutorial on how to set up reCAPTCHA in WPForms.
And if you’d prefer not to use reCAPTCHA, we have another anti-spam protection feature, hCaptcha. This is a good option if you’d prefer not to sign up for Google’s reCAPTCHA service. Within your forms, hCaptcha will display a checkbox asking users to prove they’re human (much like Google’s v2 Checkbox reCAPTCHA). We have a detailed guide for setting up hCaptcha.
Alternatively, you can consider the third-party plugins such as WordPress Zero Spam or Spam protection, AntiSpam, FireWall by CleanTalk which work out of the box to protect your forms against spam.
Hope this helps!
If you’d like more help with using WPForms Lite, please feel welcome to post in our WPForms Lite support forum.
Thanks!
